. The T-11 was code-named "Tiny". It was developed for embedded systems and was the first single-chip microprocessor developed by DEC. Going into volume production in early 1982, it was sold openly and was used by DEC in disk controllers (Eg: M8639 RQDX2 controller), the VT240 terminal, auxiliary processors and in the Atari System 2 arcade game system. It operated at 7.5 MHz or 10 MHz (three versions, two speeds), used a 5 V power supply and dissipated 1.1 W maximum. It contained 13,000 transistors, used
